Our health, wealth and sanity lay on the line. Do we jump in feet first or stand back and consider the consequences? Right now we'll stand with one foot either side of the knife and see how we roll.

Puffa Off

At 22 weeks and 3 days pregnant I seem to be imploding as well as exploding. I'm full of air and my ankles are swollen like an elephants.

I actually look like a puffa fish - if you placed a couple of puffy legs on the image below that would be me, absolutely spot on.

A close friend is arriving this morning for the weekend. I cannot wait and again I look like a puffa fish due to the excitement. We met in Uganda on Christmas day 8 years ago and it's been a year since I saw her for lunch in London. She's beautiful, inspirational, gifted and wise - she has a spirit that touches you from within.

She and her husband have been tackling their own mountain of grief these past 5 months and it will be through tears and hope that I hug her so tightly today. The kettle is on, the sofa is plumped and I'm about to get cakes. Let the weekend roll.
